Paul And The Sinner’s Prayer
In Acts chapter 9, Saul of Tarsus, who later was named Paul, was struck blind when he met the Lord on the road to Damascus . Then we read in Acts 9:6 about Paul, “So he, trembling and astonished said, ‘Lord, what do you want me to do?’ Then the Lord said, ‘Arise and go into the city and you will be told what you must do’”. Notice, Paul would be told “what you must do”. Then we read “But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus . And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank” (Acts 9:8-9). Did Paul have faith in the Lord? Yes. Was Paul saved by “faith only” at this point? No; as we will see, Paul still needed to be baptized to wash away his sins.
